Email built for wellness

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Emailio, an email client designed to reduce stress and encourage wellness at work. It helps users manage their inbox in a way that minimizes anxiety and distractions, using features tailored to support mental health and productivity. It's aimed at knowledge workers and teams who spend much of their day in email but want to stay balanced.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work remotely. After YC, we plan to continue operating as a remote-first team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose remote work because it allows us to assemble a skilled team without geographic constraints. Emailio is designed for users worldwide, so being remote keeps us close to our market and flexible as a small startup.

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Emailio's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Emailio would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
